Wine maker notes

Vintage 20013 Harvest method: Manual
Vinification: The grapes are carefully destemmed and left to macerate for a short period. Next, the fruit is soft crushed. The must obtained is then allowed to settle. The now-clarified must fermentes in temperatured controlled stainless steel tanks.
Ageing: After fermentation, the wine settles on the lees in the stainless steel containers for six months. The bottled wine is aged in temperature-controlled binning cellars for a minimum of two months.

Appearance: yellow with light copper reflections
Nose: intense, harmonious and complex, with evident notes of citrus fruits, apricot and lime blossom, together with notes of flint, candied fruit, honey and biscuits.
Palate: smooth, long, with a great balance; complex aromas with hints of cherries, apple and mango integrated with elegant and strong mineral components.

This celebrated variety derives from a bud mutation of Pinot Nero. As Pinot Grigio prefers cool climates, hillside vineyards are its ideal habitat. Modern vinification techniques give the wine finesse and elegance while preserving the faint coppery highlights that are Pinot Grigio’s hallmark. Without doubt, it is the best-known Friulian wine around the world.
